The car is now pretty much finished, apart from a good clean and stickers. That said, the fuel reg seems to have gone up the swany as the pressure seems to vary anywhere from 3.5 Bar to 4.2 Bar!!!
Below is a short of the door operation. It was filmed on a camera phone, but you can still see how it all works. You can obviously open the door from inside and the latch can be in the locked position before shutting (to help stop someone trying to help by shutting the door and breaking the latch!)
After getting everything sorted, I thought I would try to get the engine running again, and this time give the gearchange a whirl!
I have only just glanced at the gearchange settings, so the blip is a little coarse. Remember also that there was no throttle so the engine does almost die when cut! You can also see the neutral selection working correctly!
Listen out for the blips on the downshifts!
Now, having put all the fluids in for the corner weights etc, it was decided that we should try to start it! Not having a full loom, I had to throw some wires at the fuel pump and water pumps etc, and run the computer as a dash! Excuse the image/sound quality, I recorded this with my camera, not really a video camera! The smoke coming out from in front of the engine is the exhaust wrap ‘drying’ off so no need to worry there!
